Went to London for shopping again!!!

When will I go London for sightseeing?? Guess when you live in the country long enough, you don't feel like a tourist.

Anyway, I had been to the following attractions :-
1. Changing of guards (eventhough I can't really see due to overcrowding on Sunday)
2. Harrods (if you consider it as an attraction)
3. Night view of Tower Bridge,
4. London Eye (had not ride on it yet)
5. Big Ben (saw it when we drove past, can count lar)
6. Soho (not really an attraction to me)
7. Watch theatre performance (Mama Mia)
8. Portobello Market
9. Camden Town Market

Come to think of it, I did cover quite a lot except for the museums and zoo which I'm not interested.

Next attraction to cover is the football match.

Sushi for lunch?? That's what I had for lunch today with my colleagues. They were giving me the 'what are you doing' look when I place the wasabi in the saucer of soya sauce and mixed them all up. Apparently, what they do is to spread a bit of wasabi on top of the sushi and then dip the sushi in the soya sauce.

Sounds the same to me, except that I was being efficient (or lazy, if you want to put it that way) and combined both together for easy dinning.

Sam had got the Sony Ericsson S700!!! I like it cos the camera viewscreen is big+1.3 mega pixel, etc.... Overall I want one too but it a bit big as a lady's handphone. Anyway, I'll wait until Feb 05 to see what new handphone there is.
Going to London this weekend and will be sleeping over at Cheryl & Renee's place. Hope I don't spend too much (although I had my eyes on the Burberry bag alreadi!!)

My colleague (Liz) told me this :-

Her husband (Steve) had to go back office to work last Sat and they met in the afternoon to go shopping. While they were shopping, Steve got a call to go back office again. That was a weekend cut short.

Last night, Steve receive a bottle of wine as a thank you for your effort and coming back to work during weekend and Liz receive a bouquet of flower as a way of saying sorry for ruining the last weekend, all delivered to their home.

So thoughtful!!!

Guess you don't get that in Singapore...(sign)...

Had booked a weekend trip to Amsterdam for 6 Nov. The flight+hotel (2 nights)+half day tour+Chicago Boom = approx 210 pounds per person from Expendia.co.uk. Fairly cheap.

I'm not there for the pot but for the Van Gogh Museum.

BRITAIN is heading for one of the coldest winters in recent memory, according to forecasters who correctly predicted the summer washout.

Got back from our Italy trip.

2 days in Rome - Tiring but rewarding (Tired from walking)
1 day in Pisa - Relaxing (finally a little break for my feet from all the walking in Rome)
1 day in Milan - Disappointing (most of the shops closed on Sunday and I was there on Sunday!! The shopping is worse than London or Singapore!!)
2 days in Venice - Eye opener (The sceneries were far better than what I expected)
